Ty was 20 lbs heavier than Worthy.
You missed the point, protect your body and you will be just fine. He doesn’t need to take unnecessary hits. If you need a first down or the game is on the line then yes put your body on the line, otherwise just go down or get out of bounds.

My thing with Worthy is he’s just too small.
Zay Flowers and Josh Downs were considered small last season - especially for a Colts WR. Worthy is 10 lbs lighter than Downs and 20 lbs lighter than Flowers…
No doubt he’s fast and all than, but… is he even going to survive his first NFL season lol?
Ty did just fine, be smart and protect your body.

The colts I feel wouldn’t block it if Colter wanted to interview or take the job. I just don’t see him wanting to go there.
If a guy wants a promotion they would probably let him take it. Calling plays does give him more say in the offense.
Where are you seeing it being a promotion? He would be leaving one OC position to go to another. It’s the same position just a different organization.

Im more than certain the Colts could shut that down. Wouldn’t it be a lateral move anyways?

As you all know, he was fired today and my first thought would be is that he was a very strong defensive coordinator with a lot of energy. Makes me wonder if Ballard is considering him. just a thought for conversation.
I’m sure he wants to be a HC not take a step back.

Roquan and Queen are significantly better in coverage though. So if you are bad in coverage and are missing tackles, that makes you replaceable.
That’s a reach both are not known for their coverage abilities both are known for being run stoppers. Both of them combined have 1 interception on the season. Smith has 8 passes defended, Queen has 5, Zaire has 6. Numbers do not lie. -

He's an absolute liability in coverage and has had a ton of missed tackles (despite leading the league in tackles). I wouldn't draft 2 LBs though, just one. Assuming he passes medicals, Payton Wilson would be an absolute monster LB for us. Amazing in coverage, great in the run game, but can be a little too overaggressive at times.
As I mentioned above, the pure stats don't tell the whole story, as Franklin has shown to miss a lot of tackles.
Let’s get one thing straight, you can’t make every tackle, the person across from him is a PROFESSIONAL as well. He’s made far more tackles than he has missed. Compare his numbers to the likes of RoQuan and Queen from the Ravens (both made the pro bowl) and his are far more impressive. Is he a coverage allstar? No but the guy simply makes plays. -

Every one has flaws. EVERYONE. No one is perfect. Not you, not me, not Peyton Manning, Not Tom Brady. No player is without flaws. The question is whether those flaws matter or not.
Pittman is very good. But he’s built in similar ways to Reggie Wayne. He’s a solid possession WR. But the flaw is in his route running, Reggie could get open more consistently even early on in his career, Pittman needs to develop that ability and be more consistent. If he can, he would be even better.
He’s no where near built in the same ways as Reggie Wayne lol. Reggie Wayne is 6’0 played around 195-200lbs and ran a 4.45.Pitt is 6’4 plays around 220-225lbs and ran a 4.52.
Reggie Wayne was a Route technician he learned from one of the best in Marvin Harrison. He also had enough speed to burn you deep. Reggie didn’t become a “possession” receiver until the later end of his career when he lost a step or two. In his prime he was Dynamic.

I mean in some ways I don't blame him, he's had a different QB throwing to him every year. He may want to go to a team with a solid QB like the chiefs, although I don't think there is anyway we let him walk.
I agree, he could very well see what his market value is and the Colts can match that or choose to Franchise him.

Doubt it , they will most definitely sign someone in FA.

"“I made it this far, so I’ve loved my four years here. But I wouldn’t be doing my due diligence if I didn’t explore every option and find the best fit,” Pittman said, via Stephen Holder of ESPN.com""
He also mentioned that he didn’t feel like he was being utilized to the best of his abilities. Would love to be used downfield more. As well as he had to go to Shane and demand more targets. So that is why he is exploring his options he doesn’t know that this offense is exactly ideal for him he would like to see what else is out there. I don’t blame him , but it would suck to lose Pitt. -

No one is untouchable though I do agree it wouldn’t be received well in the locker room. Let’s say by some weird reason, MHJ is available at 7 and the asking price is our No.15, JT and a 2nd, would you do it if they’re willing to take the contract?No
-
Honestly I didn’t think that he was going anywhere. If you look at where we ranked in sacks that alone was enough to keep Gus. I knew they weren’t gonna let him go.

that is the most meaningless stat. His tackles are mostly 5-10 yards down field and can’t cover anyone.
I do like speed.
We can agree to disagree as being able to tackle is a very important technique in the game of football as a defensive player.

I don’t think pitman should get #1wr money and if he does, let another team pay him. I don’t agree with the we need another #1wr, did Houston have two yesterday? It’s the qb, not the wr’s! If he signs for reasonable contract wr isn’t a top priority. The worst part of the defense is lb and should draft two in the upper rounds depending on who is available. A dual purpose te is needed in the upper rounds also. That would help the passing and rushing game. A lot of good wr’s come out every year and the colts could get one in the middle rounds. I think the d-line is ok and would look better with a more aggressive defense. I don’t want minshew back as qb and saving a lot of money, so a qb in the middle rounds is a must. I think I would rather have ehlinger, they must see something in him if they have kept him around this long.
Zaire literally lead the NFL in tackles so why are you suggesting two LBs? -

Even though tonight was a tough way to lose I still think this team accomplished way more than I thought in year 1 with a rookie QB and Coach. Looking ahead this team has 70 million in cap space and will have multiple players coming back including AR, Blackmon and Dallis Flowers. Pittman is guaranteed to be back as well.
Looking ahead to the draft and free agency what are some things the Colts should do to improve and build off this year?
Blackmon nor Pittman is not guaranteed to be back both are free agents and haven’t been extended yet. It’s possible they will receive new contracts but nothing is solidified yet.

MHJ, Thomas, Nabers, Odunze, Franklin
Which ever one of those are available at 15 we draft him. I don’t care which one it is. I find it highly unlikely that we won’t be able to grab one of these first round graded WR1s.
We need a WR that can continuously get open past the sticks. Badly. And not one that can only run streaks (ex. Alec Pierce)
No way Marvin Harrison Jr. Slides to 15. He may not even declare for the draft. There is a lot of buzz about him going back to OSU. He will likely make more money with the NIL than his rookie contract.

Goodson is (supposedly) the best receiving back. I’m sure they ran that package in practice with him.Bad pass, but he still should have caught it.
Perfect play call.
He had 6 receptions all year, idk how he’s considered the better receiving back. I’ve seen Miss make some IMPECCABLE catches. Would’ve rather him or JT for that matter.

pierce is way to slow every passing play he is getting tightly covered . no break away speed and is a average route runner , he is only good on deep shots
Nonetheless he had several matchup advantages on Desmond king and they never took the opportunity to get him the ball on those matchups.

They Ran JT into the ground. I don’t understand why Moss did not get more touches to take the pressure off of JTs legs . JT clearly ended up getting hurt and it impacted his running ability. The play calling IMO was too damn passive. Once Houston committed to stopping the run Shane should’ve dialed up some play action plays to attack them. Instead they continued to run the ball leading to an absurd amount of 4th and 1s smh. Idk if the moment was too big for Minshew but he missed SEVERAL throws and it didn’t help that they didn’t give him the opportunity to get a groove going. Sorry I am going to blame coaching / playcalling on both sides of the ball for this loss.

So I was messing around on PFF and looked back at our draft grade and was reading our player write up and something stuck out to me. Ballard drafted guys that excel at pressman coverage. Jones was the only player that played more zone but Brents and Rush were much more man CB's. Why would you be drafting long term players to play for a DC that wont utilize their strengths? I know Ballard has said positive things about Bradley but there is no way he is super thrilled with him. He may give praise for the sacks, but as seeing we don't blitz, or scheme stunts or twist for our D-line then how much credit can Bradley really receive that much credit for it? Bradley's scheme really only works against inexperienced QB's, veteran QB's pick us a part. We dog on the personnel but Bradley is trying to force a square peg through a round hole here.
I didn't hate the decision to retain Bradley going into Steichen's first year so Shane could get his feet under him but moving forward I can see Shane being able to bring in who he wants. I think there is a massive probability that the team moves on this year and I feel Ballard has anticipated this move.
Actually to the contrary, If you watch much of Brent’s college tape he excels in zone. Kansas employed a 3-3-5 defense that had a lot of Zone Matching principles. Not entirely straight man coverage. I can’t speak too much on South Carolina. -

In my opinion, Thomas is cool and definitely has overplayed his draft position, but he’s not it. Keep Blackmon at SS and get a ball hawking FS. Cross, Thomas, and Harrison will provide nice depth and time when we go with our 3 safety packages.Im ok with the CBs we have. Beginning of the year I thought we were doomed with the group, but they’ve actually been solid. Brents, Jones, and Moore are a healthy trio. We’re getting flowers back next year. And maybe we can pick up another player in the draft or sign a cheap vet for depth. Jones and Brents with a year of experience under their belt should improve. Since both of our starters at CB are on rookie deals, we could use that money to maybe go and grab an impact player.
i know with our CBs, they’ve been assisted by our pass rush, but it seems we’ll be having the same d line next year, maybe even grab a FA like chase young. So I think we can expect the same production from that group next year.
We don’t Know that Blackmon , Kenny, Pittman or Grover will be back. So I think it’s safe to say any of those 4 positions could be addressed. I can almost guarantee you that Safety is not high up on the list of positions to draft. They spent a 5th round pick on Daniel Scott who they were really high on before his injury. If I had to bet on it. They try to resign Blackmon and if he walks they will slide Nick Cross in and let him get a crack at the starting position. They’re more than comfortable with Rod Thomas play so I don’t foresee him getting the boot anytime soon. He isn’t a world beater but the kid is solid and consistent. Scott will return to prove to be depth or compete for a shot at the starting role of Blackmon walks. I don’t see them spending a high value pick on the safety position tbh. They may draft a developmental guy in the later rounds.
Oh and btw Harrison was officially moved to LBer he is no longer considered a safety, or playing in that position. Not sure if you knew that.

What I’m hoping this team gets this upcoming offseason:
another WR1, every down pass rushing DE, FS, pass catching TE, stud LBer
Filling those spots, whether with a FA or draft pick is very doable. Ballard has to get it done. Spend the capital.
we’re not that far.
Why FS and not a CB we have Blackmon who is playing lights out, Cross, Thomas and Daniel Scott coming back off IR. We don’t know what’s the deal with Kenny if he’s coming back. And even if he doe’s outside of him we lack proper depth.

What should have the defender done? Just let him catch the ball? He turned and tried to lead with his shoulder. Unfortunately, that also leads to him not seeing his target. Considering Pittman was diving it was inevitable the hit was going to be high. Without playing touch football or banning the WR from diving that hit is going to happen unless the defender pulls up and lets him catch the ball. Frankly, that hit was Minshew’s fault. The game is not played in slow motion. I hate seeing Pitt take that hit but I honestly ask what is the safety is supposed to do there?
He was diving , the hit almost immediately occurred while Pittman was on the ground. The defender had ZERO target area. Kazee could have let up and touched Pittman to rule him down. The hit was completely unnecessary.

Will the Colts replace Leonard? (Or not)
in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk
Posted
Will they draft a LBer I’m sure they likely will take someone in the later end of the draft but I doubt that person will replace or live up to Leonard play.
